I’ve been working with the folks from Flexilis on the recent flurry of
Bluetooth distance records and the Bluesniper rifle. Earlier this week we broke our previous distance record and
bluesnarfed a phone from 1.08 miles distant.
Here’s a few sites covering the results…

I’m the guy on the far right!)

In the picture here (Martin Herfurt is on the left), you can see the Santa Monica Pier in the distance behind us.
The Bluesnarfing laptop was hitting the Nokia phone I am holding from the Pier 1.08 miles away.
